is your granny square?
In the evening, while watching TV, or sitting around with the hubs, keeping my hands busy is an integril part of controling my pain. The more intense the project, the less I focus on what is going on with my body.
Crocheting can get very intense when you attempt to try something new and this holiday season I prepared myself for battle with granny squares. I have different designs for 100 of them and they have me rivited.
Eventually, this will all turn into a Christmas blanket for my living room. Chronic pain is a funny duck...It can often be ignored and in that process, I get to learn new things and produce something special at the same time.

Oh that's going to be such an awesome blanket. I'm so glad you found something like this to refocus your mind.
You are an inspiration to me. Continually.
Keep up the good works.
You and your hubs are fortunate to be in each other's lives.
You do beautiful work too. I'll have to have my youngest daughter visit this site. She is way into knitting.
I hope the Reiki energy is of service.
What a wonderfully creative way take your mind away from the pain - it's gonna look great!
What a constructive way to handle your pain... the afghan will be beautiful. I recently took up crocheting... I have always been a knitter and have finished one granny square blanket and have all of the squares completed for another.
There is a link if you would like to post yours as you work on it:

Have a very Happy Thanksgiving....
Love th blanket.
And I'm inspired by how you choose to cope wit chronic pain. To acknowledge its presence and feel it, but also give yourself to other things that are creative and nurturing.
And at the end of this current project, what wonderful snuggles you will have!
